United Healthcare with withdraw in full from the individual ACA market in TX and Louisiana end of 2016.
UPDATED: UnitedHealthcare lowers the boom: Pulling out of exchanges in most states, as expected | ACASignups.net
Besides Texas and Louisiana, it's also withdrawing from:
Georgia
Arkansas
Michigan
Oklahoma
Connecticut
Missouri
Nebraska
N. Carolina
Pennsylvania
Tennessee
Washington
It will stay in Virginia and Nevada for the time being.
It will also withdraw from some small business markets.
The company expects to lose about $650 million on the plans this year.
The implosion is underway. Millions underinsured or paying for insurance they find they can't use. Now, there will be people who will have to pay a penalty because there is no acceptable insurance to buy. The govt is going after short term policies, to shut them down, so people don't have an alternative (a way out of the nightmare) in order to get at least some minimal coverage that providers will accept.
What a nightmare.
